The United States considers the activities of Turkish drillship Yavuz off the north-eastern coast of Cyprus as unlawful, and urges the Turkish authorities to cease them immediately and remove the drillship from the Republic of Cyprus’ territorial sea.

The non-participation in the illegal drilling in the Cypriot EEZ of two of the three auxiliary ships, was announced the Dutch shipowner, noting that "they will not support the operations of Yavuz in Cypriot waters".

Turkey’s Finance Minister Berat Albayrak said the country was sending a second drilling ship to the Eastern Mediterranean and the Cypriot Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
